Ok I’m sure you guys and Gals have been asked this 5000 times
I just started wakeboarding this season and I have no clue what all the names for trick and stuff are. I'm 32 maybe to old to start all these flips and stuff. I can get pretty good air and I can go W2W pretty easy. I’m not so sure my body can handle some of the crashes from flips and stuff lol... are there any pretty easy tricks that look cool you would recommend me trying maybe a few pics .. I had a super cheap no name board I just got myself a parks board and I love it so far....
Thanks Mike |

| what exactly is a fashion air? from the shots i've seen, it seems sorta like a massively tweaked grab. do they have specific names? |

Fashion air isn't a grab at all.

the falls from tantrum, a backflip isn't to bad and spins dont hurt unless u hit an edge and grabs of course dont hurt unless u land with your legs not bent. just the raley and advanced inverts hurt but most stuff dont really hurt at all
Good Luck |

BobbyChicken, only the single best trick ever invented. You bend your knees bringing the board up and arch your back and finish 'er off with a nice hand-through-hair motion.
